Funding Your Ministry

By: Scott Morton
Funding Your Ministry is a book that helps missionaries to see raising support as part of their ministry and the biblical basis behind giving. Morton like most authors of fund raising books starts with the biblical basis of fund raising for ministry. The book takes all the fears and myths of fundraising and shows how to face them head on. He uses personal illustrations and stories from Navigator's missionaries who have had to raise their support. The book is comprehensive in the different situations that a missionary can be in from single to married, from local to abroad. Scott shows that no matter what family type you have and amount of time that you have it is possible to raise a support team.  Littered with witty cartoons to drive home the point and helpful resource forms this book can help any missionary build a strong foundation for raising their financial support and prayer partners. I recommend this book for all missionaries whether they are just starting or are fully funded the tools in this book can fill out any missionaries toolbox.

People Raising

By: William P. Dillon 
William P. Dillon shows the reader that missionaries do not fund raise, but that missionaries must people raise. Mr. Dillon uses a fictitious character named Andy who goes through the entire process of determining his belief on support raising and the practical application on how to go about it. Missionaries tend to be their worst enemy when it comes to support raising. They often feel as though they are begging or that support raising is not part of their ministry. Dillon shows that part of ministry is sharing your vision with others. The last half of his book is a step by step process of not only how his ministry does people raising, but a suggestive hint on how all missionaries and ministries should support raise The book tends to be aggressive towards the end with how a person should find partners and may seem a little bit like you are reading on how to be a salesmen. He uses many articles and historical lessons to illustrate his point. I would suggest this to any missionary or ministry who is having difficulties finding a system to help bring in a bigger partnership.
